Passenger Mirror Question

[72vert]

I have tried to figure this out for a while with no luck. My passenger mirror sits at a different angle than the driver’s side. The driver’s side sits mostly flat while the passenger’s is angled up. When I bought the car it had a C9 part number passenger mirror, so I found one with a D1, but it didn’t seem to change anything. I’m wondering if it’s possibly the base? Or something with the door? At car shows I have seen a couple other 71-73s with angled mirrors, but most seem to be flat. Any ideas or part numbers would be helpful. (The pictures with the black mirrors are mine. The sprint mirror seems to be flat.)

Sport mirrors were used on a lot of different Ford cars. They had different door sill contours, so I would think that the base on your passenger mirror was from one of those other cars.

If you remove the mirror, there will be a casting number inside the base. A 71-73 Mustang base would be a D1ZB casting. A mirror from another year or car line will have a different casting number.
